claimed: "No; wrote it for the eyes

you get it?'
"You sent it to me as part of the
lovc-scenc between Allyn aud Gene
vra. Don't you see what you've done?
You've sent the lovc-sccnc to Mile

a look of profound detection that Stu

you have found out that she is equally
fond of you. The coast is clear, just

NEW MILK TEST.
II Process Introduced N the Testing
Offices of Munich, Bavaria.

The Process Introduced N the Testing
Offices of Munich. Bavaria.
The old methods of testing milk have
this defect, hat they require n long
time to complete, and even then are not
quite reliable. Forthepurpose of detect
ing authorizations, by the market an.
thoritics or the police, it is essential to
have a way of dealing with samples,
especially when there are a good many
of them, which is reliable and at the
same time expeditions. The president
of the Agricultural Central Testing Of
fees in Munich, Prof. DR.. Julius Leh-
mann, has discovered a method of test.
ing milk, which is free from the defects
which have hitherto characterized all
known tests of milk, although the new
method does not as yet work rs smoothly
as it will do by-and-by. The Lehman
process is simply this: A sample of
the milk is weighed 9.1O grammes)
and mixed with the same quantity of
water. 1t is then poured upon a baked
but porous plate of very fine clay, in
II thin layer. What generally is only
to be attained by the slow process of
mixing with drying material and by
tedious corporations is in this way done
very quickly. The water of the milk,
the sugar which is dissolved therein,
the albumen and a portion of the dis
solved salts are quickly absorbed by
the plate of clay, but the fatty matter
and the caseine of the milk, as has been
proved by a series OF chemical analyti-
cal Investigations, remain in the shape
OF a thin skin on the plate. This skin
or film can easily be taken of with an
ivory knife from the plate and dried.
If the amount of fatty matter alone is TO
be determined the skin can easily be
treated with alcohol, and then the two
most important ingredients of the milk
are SOC a~sccrtaincd. For most eases
it is sufficient to know the amount of
the solid substances in the milk as well
as the amount of water, for which two
hours are quite sufficient. The process
has also this advantage, that Il number
of samples can be treated at the same
time. Apart from the police supervisor
over the milk dealer. a quicker investi-
CATION of milk has a great Importance
to the farmer, as he can inform HIM
self of the result of the feeding of his
COWS as well as what is going on when
the milk is worked up into butter and
cheese. For families it is absolutely
Indispensable to guard against being
cheated by the supplicr of milk,
especially where the latter is to be paid
according to quality, The new analy-
sis seem also capable of giving valuable
information as to the form in which fat
and c~aseine appear in the milk. -Gnn-

was clear and shallow, he saw o number
